Wild new paper claims Earth may be surrounded by a giant magnetic tunnel

[Still Waters]

Mysterious structures in the sky that have puzzled astronomers for decades might finally have an explanation – and it's quite something.

The North Polar Spur and the Fan Region, on opposite sides of the sky, may be connected by a vast system of magnetized filaments. These form a structure resembling a tunnel that circles the Solar System, and many nearby stars besides.

"If we were to look up in the sky," said astronomer Jennifer West of the University of Toronto in Canada, "we would see this tunnel-like structure in just about every direction we looked – that is, if we had eyes that could see radio light."

We've known about the two structures for quite some time – since the 1960s, in fact – but they have been difficult to understand. That's because it's really hard to work out exactly how far away they are; distances have ranged from hundreds to thousands of light-years away.

Orbital systems seem to be electromagnetic and if the universe looks as neuron and brain-like from a distance as it does... Why not? This should be expected.

We could use this tunnel to travel faster then light using electromagnetic engines.

What is this even supposed to mean?

Make Earth great again.

We're gonna have the biggest greatest giant magnetic tunnel and martians and Klingons are gonna pay for it.

This is probably part of the stellar network our Sun/Sol/Solar System is connected with the other stars out there. These planetary bodies possess enough of a EM Field they can be utilized for travel. Just like our body can be used, our chakras are like tiny wormholes. Beings with sufficient control over space time metrics could shrink themselves and utilize a chakra to travel.

Chakras as wormholes? I really hope not i dont want my liver or heart get sucked in the hole and ending in somebody's launch or dinner....

Let me guess this starts in the Bermuda Triangle
